The Los Angeles Press Club held its 53rd annual Southern California Journalism Awards on Sunday night, and Truthdig emerged triumphant from the historic Millennium Biltmore hotel, taking home prizes for Best Website Exclusive to the Internet, Best Online Sports Writing and Online Journalist.
The judicial panel described Truthdig as a whole as a “good-looking, interactive and deep website.” The sports award went to Mark Heisler for his piece Role Models for the Id, which the Press Club’s judges called “very informative, entertaining, witty and provocative” (we agree); and Truthdig columnists Chris Hedges and Robert Scheer drew second-place and honorable-mention accolades, respectively, in the Online Journalist lineup.
